liitiord Castle and Town,

Lihord, formerly called Ballyduff,
and OF which the parish still retains it's
ancient name of Clonleigh, was first dis
tinguished as the stronghold of the
famous sept Of the O'Donels, who had
strong castle here. In this castle in
1896 Hugh O'Donel, 'Red Hugh" en-
tertained Don Alonzo Copis, who was
sent by Philip II. Of Spain to ascertaip
the state of Ireland preliminary 10 aes-
patching aD expedition to aid O'Donel
IN his struggle against che English. The
castle was destroyed soon after, and
when 1000 men of the English garrison
Of Derry advanced on Liford in 1900
the town was only defended by earth
works, which the soldiers of Hugh
O'Donei abandoned, preferring to take
up s. defensive position two miles away.
After some weeks Of inaction the Eng
ish were advised by Neal Garbh O'Don-
Ell, who had abandoned the cause of his
chief, to attack the Irish camp. An OBJ
stinate battle followed, which ended! in
the English being driven back into the
Notifications they had built around Lift
ford, which afterward became a town
Of some importance, and was granted d
charter Of incorporation by James 1.
Liford returned two members to the
Irish Parliament until the Union, when
it was DISTINGUISHED. and at the
time the corporation ceared to exist.
Under the bhghting influence Of the
Union the town itself has almost pass I'd

POINTS ON FISHING.
Two Little Boys Triumph Over a Salmon
that wns Hard to Land.

BANGOR, June A good story regarding
the great run of salmon in the Penobscot has
been tho topic here. Many sportsmen from
New York. and even further south. arc hero
with tho most seductive devices for fish killing,
and thin flies lash the river above apd below
the city from sunrise to sunset. Among the
native sportsmcn who have rivalled the visitors
arc two small boys, II and 10 years old, who
are now the heroes of the town. They have an
old boat in which they spend all their
spare hours on the river. For fishing tackle
they secured long, straight stick, like bean
pole, u cord nearly as large as II lead pencil
and strong enough to hold u whale, and a
small ordinary hook. They padded around on
the end Of the rope until they got II bite. The
elder lad had the pole and the fish with a rush
almost hauled him out of the boat. The boy
was equal to the emergency, and he hung on
like an Alabama claim.
He yelled to the her boy to pull for shore.
Tho little fellow worked away at the oars like
a Trojan, while the fish pulled almost as hard
the boat finally reached shoal water near the
bank The fish rushed about frnntically, and
the boys could not land him. Finally tho boy

for a hand o-hand tussle with the game.
The water reached to his waist. The little
fellow, tugscd with all his might 1T the line and

tho boy was almost overmatched. The fish was
almost as long as he was, but he managed to
gills. and he Rugged it .frantically. In a, few
moments he waded ashore and dropped his
prey triumphantly, on the bank. Then he and
his companion had war dance, They lugged
tho fish home, and found 1t weighed twenty
one pounds
